The Steps of Employing a Model

"Step 1: Create or Construct a model relevant for a topic of interest.
"Step 2: Question that model world: the 'external dynamic'.
"Step 3: Demonstrate the answer to the questions using the model's resources: the 'internal dynamic'.
"Step 4: Narrative accompanies the demonstration to link the answers back to the questions and to their domains: both to the world in the model and the world that the model represents."
-- Mary Morgan, The World in the Model, p. 225
